rhader Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Hey Guys, I am using ACAD 2011 and it seem sto have removed some of the functionality in inserting images and keeping them there?? I am trying to put in a small company logo so that we can have a drawing template. and whether I 'ATTACH' the image OR 'copy and paste' it does not seem to matter... both seem to bring in the image however save it and try opening on a different machine it simply displays the path o the file which is no longer valid of course... I cannot seem to find the correct import method to embed the fimage into the actual ACAD drawing.... I know with previous years of ACAD this was possible... can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? thanks!! Quote
SLW210 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 You need to copy and paste from MS Word or an image editor like MS Paint. Quote
rhader Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 thank you!! holy crap that was annoying me!! is there any other command in autocad that you can use to actually do that?? by copy an dpasting from a paint type program you are going outside of the scope of the ACAD program itself and essentially embedding data directly as it is in the image - cant believe I didnt think of that... but a viewer didnt work either... you would think there should be a command that embeds the image?? this seems to just get around the problem?

rkmcswain Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Although there is no true way to embed an image (in the same way you would bind an xref).... there are some very similar workarounds, with various pros and cons... See: http://cadpanacea.com/node/65 Quote
